The whole nation? That's silly, gay marriage will be legal one day and it has some support. But I find it funny that people protest gays and yet nobody protests adultery and heterosexual fornication. I wonder why.

He's not my favorite; he's kind of a corporate yuppie type, and there are other San Francisco politicians who are more progressive.

But here, he's exactly right. History will regard him kindly for being on the right side. And I voted for him specifically because of this moment.

The world is changing, bigots. Whether you like it or not.

Jules02392 - you're retarded and also logically unsound.

I have a belief system that faggots should not soil the meaning and purpose of marriage. Your belief system is faggots should spoil the sanctity of marriage (a religious institution).

Essentially you're telling me not to use my belief system to promote bigotry. Yet you're using your belief system that I am a bigot to promote your homosexual belief system and incite "pity" toward your cause. Good job being a hypocrite.

Marriage is a legal contract issued by the government. Religious marriage has no legal meaning in the states. Stop using religion to protect bigotry.

As California goes, so goes the rest of the nation. Far-left socialist lunatics control America whether you like it or not! Far-left activist Judges are overturning what Americans rightfully voted on. This is FASCISM!!!!

Hahaha! What? Newt Gingrich? Why he just took a pledge to be morally pure this election. LOL

All I can say is that if Iived in California, Gavin Newsom would have my vote. He took a brave stand here, and I applaud him for it.

On 12 June 1967, in the case of Loving Versus Virginia, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the laws banning interracial marriage in the United States. This was done by a court decision, based on the constitution, and not by any popular vote. Our courts exist, in large part, to protect the rights of the individual and to prevent the rights of the minority from being taken away by the majority. Loving Versus Virginia was decided by the Supreme Court "whether you like it or not."

Thanks for bringing a bit of truth with some facts to Newsom's record.

[Ron Charles]

Could it possibly be because Newt Gingrich has been such a strong proponent of adultery and heterosexual fornication?

Based on god's opinion on other subjects, such as slavery (see Exodus 21:20-21 for an example) and child execution, we don't care what he thinks. He's shown himself to be incompetent to make moral judgments.
